If you lent a few dollars to a friend to play the lottery and he/she won $ 1 million, do you expect a 50/50 split of the win?

No, but maybe somewhere between 10-25%. I have purchased lotto tickets for others and tell them in advance if the ticket hits I'm in for 25%. It's always good to put an initial on the front.

An awful lot of questions it seems people take personally, and into account THEIR own friends, not the hypotheticals.. If a friend won the lottery with the few dollars/euros I lent them I would be happy for them. I'd probably joke that I'd want some money if we were out and stuff but I'd never expect them to give me anything but what I loaned them. That's what friends are for...and besides, if we didn't have some fun with the money together, we wouldn't have been friends in the first place.

Money's temporary.

If your answer is no, then you shouldn't expect half of the winnings. If your answer is yes, then it wasn't a loan in the first place (and hopefully you made that crystal clear before handing over the money).

I don't lend money without finding out what it's for. I determine whether or not I should loan the money based on the reason. So yes, if I loaned the money, I'd expect a cut.

Without me, the purchase never would have happened. 50/50 might be okay for small amounts, but as the amount gets larger I think the percentage would probably go down. If they win $100 million, are you really entitled to $50 million?

Well, we can hope all we want, but we don't have any legal legs to stand. I doubt that the friend will be so generous to give half the money to me. Well, if that happens, I'll just hope for a few thousand bucks if my friend is generous or even a nice meal.

Aside from that, I doubt that anyone will be that generous. That is why you don't want to lend your money so they can buy lottery tickets. It's a lose lose situation for you.

If they win, then you lose, if they lose, then you;ve wasted your money. I doubt that the person would give your money back if they;re the type who spend all their moneys for lotteries. A similar thing happened to me once, in a much less grander scale.

I persuaded my friends to catch the wedding bouquet. It turned out that my friend got it. The bride gave her reward for $100 gift certificate.

She gave it to her friends, $5 for each friend (there are 3 of us). Well, it's better than nothing I guess.

If you lent the money to them, you shouldn't expect any. If you give the money, now that's different. I still don't expect 50/50.

If this is the case, you should buy it yourself and tell them you'll split 50/50 if you win. Since you just lent the money. It's the same as they didn't win.

You still get the lent money back so you can't expect another 50/50 split on top of that. You just hope that friend is generous to give you 15% or so because that's the percentage you give as tips.

I am picky about the friends I keep, much less any I lend money to. If I lend money to a friend, it better not be for the lottery. It better be for something worthwhile like meds, food diapers, etc.If I did indeed break down and loan money to a friend, I would hope they would be nice enough to at least give me something.. probably not 50%, but anything would be nice.

Knowing the close friends I do have, I'm sure they would at least offer some money to me.

I see this as a great way to end a friendship because I would probably want a nice helper fee for sure, but my friend may or may not want to share the winnings. Legally, the person is under no obligation that I know of. And what is a friendship compared to a million dollars.

I have lost a friendship over $1000 dollars let alone a million (I loaned a friend the money who promised to pay me back. That was over ten years ago. We haven't spoken in as much time.) Sadly, friends come and go.

And this would most likely be a good reason to have one less friend. There is a slim chance that the friend might give some money. However, what would really be considered a good split?

Sure 50/50 is my mind but what if the friend thought $500 was enough or $2000. Is that really enough given the sum after taxes? I would probably still be insulted especially if this were the type of person to always borrow money (meaning they could not budget themselves properly).

I think these are the type to also easily forget the burdens they placed on others. Maybe I'm feeling really pessimistic today for some reason. The alternative is a friend that sees the value of the friendship more than the money.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
